A Record-Breaking Campaign

From Coach Brian Kelley:

Development on and off the field is equally important, and we intend to participate in a team-building and leadership program. The leadership program’s cost is beyond our budget, and your support will help our student-athletes grow, compete and learn together. Your generosity provides an impactful experience for our student-athletes and enables us to pursue our team goals.

Each year the notoriety of our soccer program continues to expand along with your donations to the Goat Nation Giving Challenge. For this, we are forever grateful. Go WPI!


From Student-Athlete Mason Perham '24, MS'25:

"The soccer team has greatly impacted my WPI experience. I've made great friends and developed a network of connections. The first thing that comes to my mind whenever someone mentions WPI are my memories and experiences on this team. 

The support from Goat Nation Giving Challenge has allowed me to play the game I love and gave me the best experience possible. Everyone on the team is grateful for all the donor’s support."


From Alumni Athlete Riley Doherty ‘19:

"Many of my best memories from WPI are from my time on the men's soccer team. The team's focus on pushing each other to be better both on and off the field played a major role in my personal growth. Whether it was competing together in games, holding each other accountable in the offseason, or helping each other balance demanding coursework, the lessons I learned from my teammates have stuck with me to this day.  Now as an assistant coach on the team, I see that so many great memories I had from my time at WPI were only possible because of donations to our program. Overnight trips to have a more competitive schedule and team dinners are just two examples of things that are only possible because of the tremendous support that we receive."

​You shattered the record!

Goat Nation, we’re speechless. Year after year, the Goat Nation Giving Challenge gets stronger and stronger, and this year, you’ve outdone yourselves.

Thanks to you, this has been our most successful campaign ever—by a long shot.

You are fueling WPI Athletics to maintain and enhance the student-athlete experience, providing equipment, technology, and support. You are fostering life-long friendships and mentorships, building student-athlete resilience, confidence, and leadership, and honoring tradition.

It simply means the world.

Stay tuned for our final results next week. Until then, know that we couldn’t be more grateful.

Thank you, Goat Nation!

Once again Goat Nation, you rose to the challenge! The stretch goal of $250,000 has been met!

With hours to go, we're setting our sights on the highest goal GNGC has ever had- $300,000! 

Your gift can help your team continue to provide the best experience for today’s student-athletes, allowing them to become not only better athletes and students, but people.

Thank you!

A new PR!

Goat Nation YOU did it! Thanks to your generosity, we reached our initial goal of $200,000 raised in support of varsity athletics! 

With one day left, we've set our sights even higher- a $250,000 goal! Each gift supports the athletic department and WPI's student-athletes so they can achieve their goals on and off the field.

Thank you for supporting WPI's student-athletes.
